Russian authorities accused Ukraine of launching a drone attack on Moscow early Monday, with one of the drones falling near the Defence Ministry's main headquarters. The Russian military retaliated by launching new strikes on port infrastructure in southern Ukraine.
Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin reported that the drone strikes hit two non-residential buildings, causing no casualties. The Russian Defence Ministry claimed to have jammed both attacking drones, causing them to crash. One drone fell on the Komsomolsky highway near Moscow's center, close to the main Defence Ministry building, while another hit an office building in southern Moscow, causing severe damage.
